AIIMS panel to examine Vishal Yadav

By Our Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI, JULY 9. The Delhi High Court today directed the Medical Superintendent of All-India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) to set up a panel of doctors to examine the health of Vishal Yadav, one of the accused in the Nitish Katara murder case

Justice R.C. Chopra of the High Court issued the direction to AIIMS on a petition by Vishal Yadav seeking bail for treatment of what he submitted was a tuberculosis-related disease at AIIIMS or at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital. Counsel for Vishal Yadav, A.S. Chandhioke, submitted that in the medical examination at G.B. Pant Hospital and at Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Hospital his client was found to be suffering from a tuberculosis-related ailment.

Mr. Chandhioke further submitted that his client preferred treatment either at AIIMS or at Ganga Ram Hospital, as it was only these two hospitals in the Capital, which probably provided treatment for the disease from which he was suffering. Mr. Justice Chopra directed the AIIMS Medical Superintendent to admit the petitioner at his Institute if he felt that there were sufficient medical facilities for the treatment of the disease. Vishal Yadav and Vikas Yadav, cousin and son respectively of D.P. Yadav are facing prosecution for allegedly kidnapping and later killing Nitish Katara, son of a Delhi-based senior IAS officer, in 2001.
